Global Air Compressor Filters and Compressed Air Dryers Market to Reach $6.7 Billion by 2026

Air Compressor Filters and Compressed Air Dryers are the most ubiquitous electromechanical workhorse equipment used widely in homes, commercial establishments, and industries such as heavy machinery, general manufacturing, engineering, water pumping, process industries, mining energy generation, oil and gas exploration and distribution, power plants, petrochemicals, automobile service centers, textiles and chemical industry, among others. In the current era of machine-based manufacturing and industrialization, they represent ubiquitous and indispensable equipment. The compressed air contains kinetic energy which can be used for a variety of purposes such as operating pneumatic equipment like gantry cranes etc., cooling atmospheric air, for controlling robotic machines in assembly line plants, to vaporize paints, for blasting and cleaning operations, among others.

Food & Beverage End-Use Segment to Reach $816.3 Million by 2026

The food industry is a major end-use market as compressors draw in huge amounts of atmospheric air for compression and therefore there is high risk of contaminants such as water vapor, atmospheric dirt, oil vapor, and microorganisms. Given the growing concerns over the quality of compressed air as the often overlooked cause of contamination in the food industry, there is growing demand for clean air solutions in food processing. Demand is therefore forecast to be strong for compressors with anti-bacterial filters that filter out microorganisms. Especially poised to benefit are oil-free compressors as these compressors eliminate the risk of delivering oil into the air stream thus significantly reducing the risk of food and beverage contamination. Global market for Food & Beverage End-Use segment is estimated at US$555.3 Million in 2020, and is projected to reach US$816.3 Million by 2026 reflecting a compounded annual growth rate of 6.8% over the analysis period. United States constitutes the largest regional market for Food & Beverage segment, accounting for 32.7% of the global sales in 2020. China is poised to register the fastest compounded annual growth rate of 9.5% over the analysis period, to reach US$87 Million by the close of the analysis period.
